How are you ripping off the employees? They still see the same take home pay. When do they get those "withholdings" now?
How are you ripping off the employees? They still see the same take home payTHINK!
Their take home pay now is AFTER taxes.
Since they wouldn't have paid taxes after being ripped off by their employer, their/your take home pay would be BEFORE any taxes are paid (from a lesser amount).
Now: $1000 gross
$300 withholding
$700 tax free.
Your way after: $700 gross
No withholding
$539 tax free. ($700 minus 23% tax = $539)
